A song to someone special who is lost right now

Personal Prison

by Katiesherrill

-Verse 1-
There you are sitting all alone
In an unfamiliar room.
Bound by an overwhelming loneliness that
Is threatening to consume.
Don't remember how you got here
You're holding on for dear life.
Such a dark and lonely place
Where the pain cuts like a knife.

-Pre chorus-
You long to feel God's love
And the freedom that He brings.
Knowing all the right answers
Yet the truth, it just doesn't ring.
Looking up into heaven you crawl on your knees.
Surrendering your will to God and praying that He sees.

-Chorus-
Lift up your hands in worship
To the King.
With an honest heart cry out
Let your praises ring.
Only He can make these walls
Tumble to the ground.
Release you from your prison
Lord, let your love abound.

-Verse 2-
You want to trust His promises
To make you whole once more.
You need to hear He still loves You
You've been down this road before.
You've read His grace is new each day
And He won't close the door.
But captive by your sin and shame
You're praying He'll restore.

-Pre Chorus-
You long to feel God's love
And the freedom that He brings.
Knowing all the right answers
Yet the truth, it just doesn't ring.
Looking up into heaven you crawl on your knees.
Surrendering your will to God and praying that He sees.

-Chorus-
Lift your hands in worship
To the King.
With an honest heart cry out
Let your praises ring.
Only He can make these walls
Tumble to the ground.
Release you from your prison
Lord, let your love abound.
